100 Economy Blocks all pieced together into a quilt top. 900 patchwork pieces. The blocks were sewn over a two day period and I did have to push myself to keep going. I watched all of Offspring Season 1 on DVD - 11 hours of Australian TV drama, and I enjoyed a quiet house as my boys traveled to Sydney for a few days to watch the Aussies win back the Ashes (cricket).

All of my fabrics were already cut and I made my blocks work with the fabrics that were there. I tried not to over think the fabric selection, but it sure turned out to be a cheerful quilt. There is a lot to see.

I have made a lot of progress since these photos were taken and hope to show you the finished quilt in the next few days.

If you have any questions regarding the quilt-along please don't hesitate to ask or add to the discussion forum on theQuilt-Along Flickr Group. You can join at any time. Make as many or as few blocks as you like, and use fabrics of your choice. No pressure, happy sewing.

I love the " I spy " feel of this quilt...I am thinking that picking out and fussy cutting the center blocks would be the one thing that took the most time... Like weeks, months, hey even years to collect all those little motifs. You where watching a show I love to listen to audio books when quilting... driving...weeding the garden! I get a lot more done and can cover 1000 miles a day driving when I need to with an audio book going.

Super-900 pieces. I am glad my chair has arms or I would have fallen out of it when I read that number. However, it's certainly a fine quilt and you have reason to be proud-Again of your creations. Congrats on another winner.
